A research site for those interested in Amish and Mennonite
families. This site contains obituaries from the Herald of Truth
(1864-1908), the Gospel Witness (1905-1908), and the Gospel Herald
(1908-1998), the weekly newspapers of the Mennonite Church (MC) in
North America. In addition, obituaries from The Mennonite (1998- ) have
been added, as well as a few from the Mennonite Weekly Review (MWR). In
the near future, we hope to systematically add MWR obituaries, which
will reflect the current diversity of origins in Mennonite Church USA.

A new partnership has begun with The Mennonite magazine to provide more extensive obituaries than published in the magazine, which we are calling the Lazarus Project. You may also send obituaries published in local newspapers to add to MennObits. Send the obituaries to Archives@MennoniteUSA.org, with "MennObits" in the subject line. For more information, contact project coordinator, Thelma L. Martin.Lazarus ProjectExample
